StealthCam Nomad IR
I acquired a StealthCam Nomad IR (model I-530) today for testing. I have received questions about this game camera over the last couple of months, and decided that it was time to get some personal experience with it. I know that sometimes first impressions can be deceiving, but for the $149.00 price tag, it appears to be an attractive package.
I say 'package', because StealthCam has bundled everything you need in one kit to head straight to the woods and set the I-530 up.
Included in this package is the following:
- The StealthCam Nomad IR game camera
- A heavy duty security cable and locking bracket
- A 2 GB SDRAM memory card
- A strap for affixing the Nomad to a tree
- Six Energizer C-cell batteries
- A USB cable
- A user manual
I like the fact that StealthCam often includes security brackets with their camera kits. After being the victim of game camera theft in the past, I always purchase security lock boxes for my game cameras. StealthCam has already taken care of this for me, and this is something that I wish more game camera manufacturers would include in their packages.
This game camera has the same look and feel of previous generation Stealthcam models, but sports a new camouflage pattern; the NEXT G-1 Camouflage microprint. This is a welcome change from the drab olive green color of past models. This should help to make the Nomad a little more difficult to spot by would-be thieves.
The jury is still out on this trail camera's performance, until I get it in the woods to see how it performs.
Check back in the near future for all the test results and a video review demonstrating the features and capabilities of the I-530!
